Recruitment in the French Foreign Legion - History and Evolution, 1831–2019

L20210039
€36.02
The recruitment of the Légion étrangère, over its 189 years of existence, has never ceased to evolve in response to numerous parameters that fiction does not glimpse or cannot reveal.

This very elegant shirt model was worn from the 1920s through the 1940s. Men's fashion had preferred straight-collar shirts since the mid-19th century. An additional collar, known as a "parricide" collar, could be buttoned onto it. This type of shirt was very popular until it was gradually replaced by fold-down collar shirts in the 1940s.
